Later in her life she became a Girl Scout Leader while in California, and several years later Freida was instrumental in starting Camp Penuel; a service in which she can never be thanked enough. Freida was a proud and long-time member of the Penuel Fellowship Church. A Celebration of Life will be held on Tuesday, August 29 at 11:00 am at the Cole Family Funeral Home.
